Cut the fish fillets into strips.

Prepare a marinade with juice of 1 lemon, 1/4 tsp red chili powder, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp cumin powder, 1/4 tsp dried oregano, 3/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Mix well and set aside to marinate for 10 to 20 minutes.

For the coating, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 beaten egg, and 3/4 cup breadcrumbs in separate bowls.

Add 1/4 tsp dried oregano, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and a tiny pinch of salt to the breadcrumbs. Mix well.

Coat each marinated fish strip in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it in the beaten egg, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture.

Place the coated fish fingers in the fridge for about 30 minutes to help the coating stick.

Heat oil in a pan for frying.

Fry the fish fingers in the hot oil, keeping them moving until they turn evenly golden brown on all sides. This should take a few minutes.

Once golden brown, remove the fish fingers from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain.

Let the fish fingers cool slightly before serving with dips like mayo, ketchup, or mustard.
